Uncle James's new Aravis Super Tourer

[4F]

Yes, he's considering a Brooks...

If he does I wish him luck .......

Aravis, that's another I didn't know about. Looks good. What's happened to the Trice then?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Trice is currently being borrowed by Ianrauk but I'm fetching it back in a couple of weeks and then it will be sold. James isn't really a triker at heart, it seems. So if anyone is interested...

 

[Greenbank]

Gah, sorry I didn't reply to your PM about the Aravis but looks like you made the right decision, they're lovely bikes. Byercycles are good too.

How are you getting on with this bike?
I was going to buy a frame and build up from there, but I am now seriously considering a complete bike with the Sora STI running gear

 

[Auntie Helen]

He's getting on with it very well and is most pleased with it. He's still tweaking the handlebars a bit and will probably get a Brooks saddle in due course but the rest of the bike is fine. The hub dynamo is brill - he has fitted a Busch & Müller light as they weren't something Byercycles stocked themselves.

If you ever come out on one of Wowbagger's rides you should be able to have a go of James's Aravis - we'll be on the WARTY at the end of January, for example.

Thanks for the offer but looking at the frame I am certain it will be too big for me, where I to ever make it out on a Warty.
I am going up to Byers this weekend, 9th. Was going to go before xmass, then it snowed, was going to go New Year weekend but knocked off bike on the 30/12 and just didnt feel up to it.
Did you have the dyno-wheel built as an extra or replacement for the front wheel?
